Seventeen counties at Albany meeting

The expectation was there could be around 10, but representatives of 17 Democratic county committees gathered this morning in Albany to discuss the 2010 ticket and lingering concerns by some about Gov. David Paterson.

Here’s the on-the-record spin, as delivered by Saratoga County Democratic Chairman Larry Bulman.

“It was a great meeting,” Bulman said. “The one thing we were all unified on, was that it was great to get everyone together in this political climate that we’re in and make sure that we have dialogue and discussion so we can mount a great campaign here in 2010…we talked about all the candidates that have announced they were running for office. We didn’t get in to talking about potential races because, until people become candidates, there’s really nothing to discuss and talk about. We want to be unified.”
